I won't snicker at the paint job... actually, for a chick bike, I think it looks pretty awesome... one of the better that I've seen posted on the Tsukayu site.
I recently picked up the jumbo hard bags and read in another post that the bags bounce a lot. did you ever figure out a solution... I've read that another pair of brackets might do the trick but I can't find the post anymore to find the brackets.
I sold them. They just didn't work right on a softail frame. The brackets and the bags bounced all over the place. I don't think they looked right either.
